One change means a 10% discount on transactions for non-commercial, two-axle vehicles – like minivans and SUVs—that have an EZ Tag on HCTRA roads.

Another change will now make EZ Tags free for up to eight tags per account, and $2 for each tag after that. They used to cost up to $15 each.

Also, the minimum replenish amount has been lowered to $10 for every two vehicles, instead of $20. These accounts will replenish when the balance reaches $5.
